Chapter 10 The late Buffon

, update the latest chapters as soon as possible!

At the end of the warm-up match, Arsenal defeated Naples 4:1.

There were no surprises in the whole game, it was a crushing game.

Although Naples made several good counterattacks in the second half, this was based on the fact that all Arsenal's main players were off the field. From this, they could also feel the gap between themselves and the top European teams.

This makes Naples, who are expected to be in the Champions League this season, a little scared before the start of the season.

Ancelotti was also not very satisfied with Napoli's performance.

At the same time, he was even more dissatisfied with the warm-up match plan decided by the club. This warm-up match was completely a unilateral notice from the club and something they were forced to accept.

In Ancelotti's view, Arsenal is not a suitable opponent for Naples.

Playing against Arsenal too early will only cause frustration among the players.

Just like now.

As for the current situation, Ancelotti is also very helpless. He can only quickly organize the team to leave, hoping that after they leave the land of London, they will forget this game like this.

Naples left overnight, while Arsenal completed its last warm-up game before the season.

Of course, strictly speaking, the Community Shield is also a ‘warm-up match’.

However, based on Manchester City's urine, they did not think that Manchester City would let them win so easily.

Last season, Arsenal took away three titles from Manchester City, the EFL Cup, FA Cup and the league title.

Last season, Arsenal also defeated Manchester City by one point and won the league championship trophy.

It can be said that in the past two seasons, Manchester City has fallen in front of the obstacle of Arsenal. If they cannot defeat Arsenal, they will not be able to win any championships.

For Manchester City, Arsenal has become a thorn in their hearts, and it always hurts when they think about it.

There is only one way to pull out this barb, and that is to defeat the opponent head-on.

Therefore, Manchester City will not give up any opportunity to defeat Arsenal.

And Arsenal will not play tricks with Manchester City or underestimate their opponents.

There are still five days until the Community Shield kicks off.

During this period, in addition to rehearsing tactics against Manchester City, Arsenal focused on running in and getting familiar with each other.

Although their performance in the warm-up match was very good, it does not mean that they can also perform in the game.

To this end, they need to have a stronger relationship with each other so that they can form a tacit cooperation during the game.

At the same time, on July 28, Arsenal welcomed a late teammate.

When Lucky was called to Mourinho's office, he saw Buffon having a good chat with Mourinho.

There was a melancholy smile on his handsome and weathered face.

Wearing off-white trousers and a black POLO shirt, it looks like he is here to participate in a business event instead of training.

Buffon also saw Lucky. He stood up to warm up and walked over, stretched out his hand and said, "You left such a deep impression on me during the game. On the night when you were eliminated in the final, all I could think about was It’s a picture of being defeated by you.”

"It's an honor to work with you, Captain!"

Buffon lowered his body and greeted Lucky cheerfully.

Facing the enthusiastic Buffon, Lucky also smiled and extended his hand. After the two greeted him, Mourinho asked Lucky to lead him to the locker room.

Along the way, Buffon was also looking at Arsenal curiously.

Lucky also looked at Buffon's outfit.

After it was finally determined that Buffon did not bring any training equipment, Lucky reminded; "Today is training day, where is your equipment?"

Hearing this, Buffon waved his hand and said: "My ankle is injured. I have communicated with the coach to rest for a while. Besides, I don't want to hold you back."

Lucky had a weird expression.

Buffon pointed at Lucky and smiled: "Just kidding!"

Lucky laughed dryly, this joke was not funny.

Soon, Lucky led Buffon into the locker room.

The name Buffon is well-known in the football world. He is a big brother-level player in terms of reputation and qualifications.

Especially still persisting in professional football at the age of 41, which in itself is a very remarkable move.

Buffon was still as enthusiastic as ever. He introduced himself to his teammates like a peacock with its tail spread.

His words are humorous and approachable, and he quickly closes the relationship with his teammates.

He even joked towards Martinez: "I'm not competing for the starting spot, you just need to lead me to the championship."

A carefree Martinez patted his chest and said it was no problem.

Others laughed.

Only Lucky's expression has always been weird.

However, he didn't care too much about anything and quickly entered the training session.

Buffon was injured and for this reason he was unable to participate in training.

But come on, he is also helping the goalkeeper coach train Martinez.

Buffon is older and his reactions are slower.

But he has a lot of experience, which can give Martinez a lot of help.

The other players are conducting their own training projects, and everyone is training in an orderly manner.

At the end of the day's training, everyone washed up in the locker room, put on their casual clothes and left.

Lucky was the last to leave because he had to lock the door.

"Aren't you leaving?"

Lucky couldn't help but remind him when he saw Buffon sitting in front of the locker.

Buffon stood up and smiled: "I'm going to see Mr. Mourinho later, you can go first."

Lucky sighed and said, "But I want to lock the door."

Buffon wondered; "Isn't it the equipment administrator's job to lock the door?"

Lucky shrugged: "Mr. Paul likes to sleep in, so I am responsible for locking the doors of the dressing room and equipment room."

"That's it"

Buffon showed a hint of thought and immediately said, "Okay then, I'll go to the office building and wait for him."

Lucky nodded, watched Buffon leave, then locked the doors to the locker room and equipment room, and then drove away.

Ten minutes later, the equipment management room.

"Do you want the keys to the equipment room and locker room?"

Paul Janssen looked at Buffon, who was a little restrained in front of him, with a surprised look on his face.

On the first day he arrived at the training base, he asked for the keys to the locker room and equipment room. This was something he did not expect.

"I need to do some training, and I may practice very late. I'm embarrassed to disturb you, so can you give me a key, or I can match one, so that you can relax."

Buffon laughed dryly.

Paul glanced up and down at Buffon and said, "There are only two keys to the dressing room and equipment room, one is with me and the other is with Kay."

Buffon: ""

Paul: "So you don't want Kai or your teammates to know about this, right?"

Buffon looked helpless and said, "I hope you can agree."

Paul took out a bunch of keys from his trouser pocket, put two of them on the table, and said, "I have no reason to refuse you, and I also believe that you won't do some silly pranks."

Buffon immediately took the key and said with a smile on his face: "Thank you very much."

Paul waved his hand and said, "A kind reminder, if you want to practice more in the morning, it's best before 7 o'clock. Kai will arrive at the training base on time at 7 o'clock."

Buffon was surprised: "So early?"

Paul nodded affirmatively: "It's so early!"

"Okay, I understand." Buffon nodded, then turned and left.

When I got back, I first went to the underground parking lot, took out the equipment bag from the trunk, then rushed to the locker room to change my jersey, and then ran to the equipment room to move various equipment into the training ground, and then started my extra training time. .

As the sun sets, in the empty Arsenal first team training ground, there is banging movement.

There was the sound of the ball hitting the ball, and there was also the dull sound of the body hitting the ground.

The red sunset stretched the shadows of Buffon and the goal.

bang bang bang

The rhythmic sound of fighting, occasionally mixed with the sound of heavy breathing.

sweat dripping

Buffon repeated the same save action again and again.

"Too slow! Come again!"

"There's something wrong with my hand shape."

"Not enough kicking!"

"It must be sent across."

"It's too high!"

Buffon's self-reflection and summary time and time again.

In each save after save, he constantly corrected his actions.

And what he pursues is not transcendence, but the pursuit of his former self.
